After a record-setting season, #Bears have agreed to terms with K Cairo Santos on a $16M, 5-year contract with a max value of $17.5M. Final 2 years of deal are voidable so it's really a $9M, 3-year deal with max value of $11M. No more kicker carousel.

The Bears have struggled to find a consistent kicker since releasing Robbie Gould in 2015 and are betting big they've found a long-term solution heading into the 2021 season.
